Theme-less for A to Z

No need to hold your breath for this one. No drum rolls either. The theme being revealed here for the A-Z Challenge 2014 is that of *theme-less-ness*. Yessir, absolutely no theme. Zilch. Anything could find its way to the blog during the challenge except that I will be sticking to the alphabet of the day, which is the idea of the challenge anyway: to start with A on the 1st of April and go on to finish it with a Z on the 30th (you get four off days too!). When you are done with the 26 alphabets, you do the happy dance, which is sort of optional by the way.

So in April you will find that my thoughts (on anything under the sun or beyond), opinions, rants, musings, humorous takes and yes, definitely digs at the pompous and insufferable, will continue as before. Come to think of it, all that does sound like a theme to me. The, I, me, myself theme. And why not? After all this is my nest. Makes sense that I write about the twigs, eggs, feathers, the branches, the trees, the forest, other birds, the flying and what I think of it all, the bird’s view, if not the birds’s eye-view. Yippeee! Whaddya know, I got myself a theme, after all. But wait, there is more.

I might make up a couple of wild tales (yes, I have got imagination, thank you!) in between and serve them on a platter suitably labeled as fiction. Now one thing about the stories I write. Be prepared, they might be sad as in the down-in-the-dumps type or the hilariously happy kind, rare though. It all depends on whether the Moon is big, fat and juicy or wasting away with sickness while I am penning them. You see, I am your quintessential moon-child, swayed by the Moon’s waxing and waning, not the fake ones parading as the real stuff. In addition, it might also trigger poetry spouting and if you are lucky (and I mean really, really lucky), you will get to read some totally depressing stuff that passes off for verse. Anyway, one hopes it does not come to that, does one not?

So yeah, here I am, theme-less for my very first A to Z Challenge at Shail’s Nest, but content all the same, and at peace in that *theme-less-ness*. Bring it on, I say.

Last year I had suggestion from friends to do a picture challenge for A to Z, with Luci as the subject. Well may be next year that will be the way i will do it 😉 And oh, L is reserved for Luci, alright 😀

As Pooja says more than 50% will be on Luci baby, I am sure! Won’t mind at all! Themeless is really a good theme…better than ‘with theme’! You are free to write about anything as you say! You are good in poetry…waiting to read, read, read!

Yes, and I prefer to be free with no restrictions on what to write about 😀
Thank you Sandhya 😀 I can guarantee you that you will laugh at the very first post. I am also sure you will read it out to your family 😉

I had a bit of a “late, late” like the Rabbit of Alice in Wonderland start to the A to Z Reveal today! Thankfully, everyone has been posting their Reveal posts to Twitter, and thereby, I am able to visit & hop! 🙂

My goodness, that is quite the introduction to your themeless within a theme but with a wanderer’s heart woven in for good measure to A2Z! I’m not quite sure what to expect from your challenge posts, but I’ll surely drop by to see what you’re up too! Intrigued with a hint of suspense reading your Reveal! :O Laughs. Melancholic posts within the subtext of story or verse might not be so bad either! Hmm,… will drop back!

How a wicked sweet time blogging!
I’m quite excited myself! 🙂
I’m a first timer btw!

Welcome to Shail’s Nest, Jorie. A little suspense is a good thing, no? I will make you laugh at least a few of the times, rest assured 😉 And thank God for Twitter that we can find the posts to hop to!
Now I have to hop over to yours and see what you have up your sleeve for the challenge 🙂

About this blog

When my fingers tap dance on the computer keyboard the results are either some tongue in cheek humor, a verse, a short story, a rant or sometimes mere rambling prose that goes nowhere in particular.... You'll find them all. So go ahead, take your pick and be bored to death!!
